Campbell’s Bakery raises charity funds

Crieff-based Campbell’s Bakery has managed to raise £200 for charity Epilepsy Scotland, during International Purple Day last week.

The day serves to raise awareness about epilepsy and was founded in 2008 in Canada by nine-year-old Cassidy Megan, who struggles with the condition.

The bakery sold purple ribbons and limited-edition purple cakes in aid of the charity.

Iain Campbell, managing director, said: “I was overwhelmed by the support shown for this worthwhile cause. We sold approximately 300 purple-themed cakes and auctioned a large purple cupcake and have raised £200 for Epilepsy Scotland.

“We are pleased to have been able to help highlight a common condition that is often misunderstood.”

Epilepsy Scotland works with people affected by epilepsy to ensure their voice is heard.
